The backdrop can also be propped up.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Pollalid, still asleep, heard a knocking sound at the window.

Half asleep, Pollalid mumbled something and was about to turn over and go back to sleep when he heard a knocking sound at the window.

Pollalid then remembered that he had promised Maria Elisa that he would go somewhere with her today.

Pollalid got up and went to the window to see what was knocking on it, and then he found Maria Elisa looking up at him from the windowsill.

When Pollalid discovered her peeking through the window, Maria Elisa wasn't flustered. She just smiled and asked, "How's it going? Ready?"

Pollalid blinked twice and hurried to wash up and change his clothes. When he returned to the window, Maria Elisa was still clinging to it.

"Why are you still clinging to the window? You can get through the door downstairs, right?" Pollard reluctantly opened the window, letting Maria and Elisa climb in.

“The door is locked. I knocked, but no one came down to open it.” Maria Elisa scratched her head, then grabbed Pollalid and continued, “Leave a note or something for your father and tell him that we’re going to Cladda, as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing this, Pollard quickly found paper and pen in his room, wrote a note, and posted it on the door of his foster father's room. He then went downstairs, opened the shop door, and had Maria and Elisa take him to the spaceship.

Upon entering the spaceship, Pollalid immediately sensed an aggressive A-level pheromone pressing down on the entire cabin.

Polalid hid behind Maria Elisa, looked around, and finally locked onto Ancadis—because at that moment only Ancadis was looking at him with a frown.

The atmosphere on the spaceship improved considerably thanks to Maria Elisa's efforts to calm things down.

Soon, the spaceship arrived at the planet Kladas. Maria and Elisa found the town according to their memories. To avoid alerting the enemy, they all changed their clothes.

Maria Elisa then led everyone to the dilapidated brick house.

Having been there before, the receptionist already recognized Maria Elisa. Seeing that Maria Elisa had brought a new person this time, the receptionist grinned and made a phone call. Soon, the woman who had led Maria Elisa in last time arrived again.

Seeing that Maria Elisa had brought new people with her, the woman smiled even more broadly.

She took them underground again, this time to a larger room.

After the woman brought over a group of people as before, she closed the door and left.

Seeing this, Ankadis and Alina were somewhat expecting it—after all, Maria Elisa had already told them beforehand.

But Pollalid looked somewhat surprised. He looked incredulously at the people of all ages in front of him and discovered that there were not only Bs and Os, but also some As.

Maria Elisa glanced at the group and immediately spotted Kimberly, whom she had spent time with before. She waved to Kimberly, who immediately came out with Ai by his hand.

“I’m here. How are you?” Maria Elisa gently patted Kimberly’s head.

“As usual, but…” Kimberly whispered carefully in Maria Elisa’s ear, “There will be a lot of people coming tonight.”

"Really? How did you know?"

“They come here once a month, and I’ve even memorized the time,” Kimberly answered honestly.

"Who usually comes?" Ankadis suddenly asked.

“We have no right to know the guest’s name.” Kimberly lowered his head, not daring to look at the man in front of him; he felt that the wine-red-haired man was terrifying.

Ankadis sighed, remembering the portrait of Mr. Ottolai dressed in women's clothing that Maria Elisa had mentioned, so he asked Maria Elisa for the exact location.

“It should be in another room,” Maria Elisa said after a moment’s thought. “It should be the third room on the left after you go out of this room.”

“That thing needs to be dealt with as soon as possible,” Ankadis said with a headache, then got up to find the painting—to check the security measures here again.

Alina started by examining the group of people in Kimberly.

Pollalid sat there, looking somewhat bewildered. He had never seen anything like this before—he had already anticipated it after hearing about Maria Elisa's big plans yesterday, but he was still shocked.
